Port Pirie Race 1 - Harbison Performance Pace (Heat 3)

BALLADORO (1) broke last start but was going well prior with wins in two of his previous three starts, leading from one spot wider to score by 1.7m at this circuit and distance two back. Has the speed to take advantage of the inside draw. WHATA OPTIMIST (3) hasn't missed the top-four since last month's Shepparton win. Finished second at Gawler two starts back then was competitive again at his latest appearance over 1800m at Globe Derby, beaten 7 metres into third after racing parked. Likely to get the favours from this nice draw. Big chance. ROCKNROLL RAIDER (6) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at Globe Derby. Genuine threat. CHARMING MAJOR NZ (5) is fitter for recent racing. Next best.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Road Star at Gawler over 2070m in a NR 43 to 46 on March 4 at $3.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Rupert Ross at Globe Derby Park over 1800m in a NR 43 to 47 on March 11 at $7.50. Has a low draw and should go well again.

Last start 9th (Sr3) over 2050m at this track was 7th-12 at the bell, beaten 17 m by Narobi (2:31.60) in NR up to 54 on March 2 at $81. Before that, was well back in the run when 4th (Fr5) over 1800m at Globe Derby Park, beaten 22 m by Narobi (2:14.20) in NR up to 54 on February 21 at $41. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Fitter so may show more.
